Introspective Life

The personal blog and website of James May

A New Face for an Old Site

Written By: Jim - Jan• 23•12

Over the past few years, I have had quite a few ideas for where I wanted this site to go.  The site was originally intended as a place for me to philosophize about life and habits of the mind. After a few months, the site devolved into a more personal journal about my crisis of faith.  Roughly this time last year, I utterly failed at my resolution to update the blog everyday.  Late last year, the blog became a catch-all for anything and everything I was doing.

I like this approach because I feel that an introspective life needs to be a balanced life.  I wanted to have a place to share my ideas with interested parties around the world.  The problem was that at the time I came to this idea, I had not actually determined what makes up a balanced life.  I still have not arrived 100% but I feel that I have a better idea now than I did last year.  Because of this, I feel that the blog needs a new feel.  I have hidden my old posts off of the main page.  They are still on the site under the “Old Posts” category.  Some of the posts are quite good in my opinion, but most are poorly written. They are included for your viewing pleasure.  The old posts will hopefully also show how I have changed since they were written.

I am not going to promise a post everyday, but I hope that the quality of what I will write will be helpful or interesting to you.

Have a fantastic day,

Jim
